Chapter 232 Return to Beijing

After Wang Zhenqian left, the Su family continued to live their lives as usual.

If Su Nuannuan hadn't noticed Chen Xiuting occasionally grinning foolishly at the air, she would have completely forgotten about the ginseng.

Time flies, and before we know it, it's Chinese New Year.

Su Jianjun and Chen Xiuting have no elderly parents, and during holidays they only visit a few close families in the village.

Su Nuannuan asked Su Jianjun to prepare red paper in advance, intending to write a few couplets and paste them on the door of her house.

At this time, the red couplets were all handwritten. Previously, the Su family's couplets were written by Su Daliang. Su Nuannuan plans to try it this year as well.

The commune also distributed red stickers and black ink to the villages below.

Su Jianjun asked the three Su brothers, Su Daliang, to help him write it.

Su Nuannuan didn't interfere. She knew her own limitations.

He picked up a calligraphy brush and wrote a unique "福" (Fu, meaning good fortune) character, intending to hang it on his bedroom door.

Chen Xiuting's eyes lit up when she saw the "福" (good fortune) character written by Su Nuannuan.

"Nuan Nuan, your handwriting is so beautiful."

Su Nuannuan looked at the round and cute "Fu" character in front of her and smiled a little shyly.

This kind of childlike and cute font is very appealing to many women. However, when it comes to beauty, Su Daliang's regular script is still the best.

Su Daliang's calligraphy, like the man himself, is steady and solid, making people feel comfortable at first glance.

After writing the couplets, Su Jianjun asked the villagers to come to his house to collect them.

Everyone who came brought some dried chestnuts, wild jujubes... These were things that everyone had picked in the back mountain beforehand.

Perhaps it was because Su Nuannuan sprinkled the spiritual spring water on the back mountain several times that the wild fruits on the back mountain grew abundantly, which benefited the villagers of Hongqi Village.

This is one of the reasons why the villagers were able to splurge a little this year for the Spring Festival.

This is Su Nuannuan's first New Year here.

Unlike her previous life, this time she had family by her side.

Time flies, and after Lunar New Year's Eve, Su Nuannuan was already planning to return to school.

She definitely won't be able to spend New Year's Eve at home.

The Su family also started getting busy in preparation for Su Nuannuan's return to school.

When Su Nuannuan woke up today, she found that her small crossbody bag was worn out.

This crossbody bag was left behind by the original owner. Su Nuannuan found it very convenient to use, so she didn't throw it away.

Compared to the original owner's crossbody bag, Su Nuannuan uses it much more frequently.

Seeing that her bag was damaged, Su Nuannuan sighed.

She took the contents of her crossbody bag out, found Chen Xiuting, grabbed her arm, and said in a coquettish tone.

"Mom, my bag is broken. Can you make me another one?"

Chen Xiuting cared deeply about Su Nuannuan's affairs, so of course she would agree.

"Okay, okay, your older sister gave me a piece of Oxford cloth before, I'll use it to make a bag for you."

Oxford cloth is a durable and waterproof fabric.

Su Nuannuan nodded and said happily.

"Thank you, Mom."

As Chen Xiuting rummaged through the box and pulled out needles, thread and cloth, Su Nuannuan suddenly spoke up.

"Mom, how about we buy a sewing machine?"

Su Nuannuan wasn't just saying it casually. The Su family was large, and Chen Xiuting always helped them with making clothes.

Things were better before; her family wasn't well-off, and Chen Xiuting only needed to sew old clothes.

However, since Su Nuannuan went to university, Chen Xiuting has been making clothes much more often.

Su Nuannuan thought that if nothing unexpected happened, Mian Nian and the others would also be going to university. Chen Xiuting would then have to make even more clothes.

Summer clothes are fine, but winter cotton-padded clothes are difficult to make.

Therefore, Su Nuannuan decided to ask Chen Xiuting to buy a sewing machine.

Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's suggestion, Chen Xiuting's heart stirred.

In the past, she would never have dared to dream of such a thing. But things are different now. The family not only has savings, but also ration coupons.

Although she only glanced at them yesterday, Chen Xiuting still remembers that there was a sewing machine ticket among those tickets.

Thinking about this, Chen Xiuting became even more determined to buy a sewing machine.

She smiled and said to Su Nuannuan.

"I'll talk to your dad about it then."

Su Nuannuan nodded, already knowing in her heart that this was a done deal.

Sure enough, two days later, Su Jianjun brought back a sewing machine from the county.

Su Jianjun did not disclose the family's savings. He only said that it was bought with the money Su Nuannuan saved from her schooling.

Now, everyone in Hongqi Village, young and old, men and women alike, had very mixed feelings.

After the complexity comes the joy.

Now that the Su family has a sewing machine, we can borrow it to make some thicker clothes in the future.

The people of Hongqi Village were delighted to hear this.

After seeing off the last villager who came to look at the sewing machine, Su Nuannuan's smile froze.

She hadn't originally planned to come out, but Su Jianjun used her as an excuse to buy a sewing machine.

Villagers who come to her house to look at the sewing machine all mention Su Nuannuan.

These people were all acquaintances with whom Chen Xiuting had good relationships, so Chen Xiuting asked Su Nuannuan to come out and greet them.

Therefore, Su Nuannuan spent the whole day playing the role of the well-behaved, ambitious, and promising youngest daughter of the Su family.

Since buying a sewing machine, Chen Xiuting has been taking her family's clothes and repairing them with the machine every day.

Su Nuannuan's lips twitched as she looked at the two more patches on Su Jianjun's clothes.

If she remembered correctly, there were no holes in those two places on the dress.

Su Nuannuan's crossbody bag is also finished.

Chen Xiuting did it under the guidance of her third brother, Su Sanquan.

Compared to the previous crossbody bag, this one is noticeably better in terms of quality and style.

Su Nuannuan was very satisfied.

The bag is black and has two compartments sewn inside. At the very back of the bag, there's a small pocket, clearly for Su Nuannuan to store valuables.

Su Nuannuan really likes this bag.

Compared to Chen Xiuting's excellent skills, Su Nuannuan was more amazed by Su Sanquan's brilliant ideas.

Although Chen Xiuting made this bag, Su Sanquan provided guidance throughout the entire process.

The style with the oversized ears was designed by him personally.

If he lived in his previous life, Su Sanquan would definitely have been an excellent designer.

Su Nuannuan discovered that Su Sanquan really enjoyed designing clothes. Ever since they got a sewing machine at home, Su Sanquan often asked Chen Xiuting to alter his clothes.

Su Nuannuan had already seen the clothes that Su Sanquan had altered.

The one she remembered most clearly was the Dacron shirt she had given him before.

Su Daliang and Su Erqiang had the same problem.

However, she didn't expect that Su Sanquan would alter the originally somewhat oversized shirt to make it more fitted and stylish. When he wore it, his previously somewhat rustic appearance instantly transformed into a fashionable and energetic one.

Su Nuannuan had to admire Su Sanquan's skills.

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was time to say goodbye.

Su Nuannuan left on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Chen Xiuting and Su Jianjun saw Su Nuannuan off at the train station. This was their first separation, but this time there wasn't much sadness.

The two only told Su Nuannuan to take good care of herself on the road.

Su Nuannuan responded to each of them.

Carrying the thoughtful gifts her family had prepared for her, she boarded the train.
